New study challenges the theory that Neanderthals originated after an evolutionary event that implied the loss of part of ...
Examination of semicircular canals of ear shows Neanderthals experienced 'bottleneck' event where physical and genetic variation was lost. A new study by an international team of scholars ...
The study, co-authored by Binghamton University Professor of Anthropology Rolf Quam and graduate student Brian Keeling, measured the morphological diversity in the semicircular canals, structures ...
A recent study compared features of Neanderthals' inner ears across space and time to extrapolate what happened to them tens of thousands of years ago.
Urciuoli and his team investigated the evolution of the semicircular canals in the Neanderthal clade using diffeomorphometry (DMorph), an approach that allows direct comparison of continuous surfaces ...
The study, co-authored by Professor of Anthropology Rolf Quam and graduate student Brian Keeling, measured the morphological diversity in the semicircular canals, structures of the inner ear ...
It is widely accepted that results obtained from studying the morphological diversity of the semicircular canals are comparable to those obtained through DNA comparisons. The study focused on two ...
Neanderthal fossils show a major population drop 110,000 years ago. Researchers link this to reduced genetic diversity.
For thousands of years, Neanderthals flourished across Eurasia. But new research suggests their genetic diversity plummeted ...
Rearranging a Genetic Timeline According to the study, the results show that classic Neanderthals had a lower morphological diversity of the semicircular canals than pre-Neanderthals. “We were ...
